Now, project implementation is moving forward. Overall, more than 98,000 people in various provinces have received solar home systems, and more than 80 rural schools have been newly electrified or repowered. Three bidding processes for schools and solar water pumps, adding up to USD 26 M, were published in April 2021 The project is planning to publish bids for near USD 68 M (SHS USD 4,5 M, Public sector USD 30 M, Productive Uses USD15 M, and mini-grids USD 18 M) by June 2021. 4/29/2021 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Argentina Renewable Energy for Rural Areas Project (P133288) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic Moderate High High Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Moderate Moderate Substantial Sustainability Fiduciary Moderate Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Low Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other Moderate Moderate Moderate Overall Moderate Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Direct project beneficiaries IN00936161 ►Direct project beneficiaries (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 74,533.00 98,225.00 454,300.00 Date 01-May-2015 30-Jun-2020 31-Mar-2021 30-Jun-2022 -
